Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 5 days)
Recruiter Contacted me over Linkedin. Then we dicussed about my experience both past and current. She asked about the future role that I am looking forward for. Then due to time constraints, she explained a little bit about the company and asked me to check their 2 presentation online on Careers website about Netflix culture.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 2 days)
Bizarre. I submitted my app online and they called me a few days later, showering me with praise. And the whole "We work hard / play hard" mantra was repeated over and over. The interview was OK, but the interviewer was clueless about the job. Every question I asked "I don't really know about that ha ha ha...".
They were really pushy to set up a follow up interview with the hiring manager for the next day. I had a previously scheduled commitment (wisdom teeth out) and they basically insisted that I speak to them right after my appointment. Yeah, not gonna happen. So, I re-shuffled my day and the time for our call came and went. No call. No email. No apology. Finally, I emailed them to remove myself from the whole process and they actually had the audacity to ask me if I would refer any of my friends for the position.

Interviewed May 2011 (took a day)
Contacted me for a job. I agreed to be interviewed and sent them a resume. After that, they just disappeared out of existence. Flakey and a waste of time - avoid.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 1+ week)
The interviewer asked too many difficult questions irrelevant to the job description and was rushing throughout the interview which made it look as if the actual candidate may have already been hired.
